Pyramid stage

[MEGABOWL]

Its a minigun turret to take out the "I Love Sausage" flagwaver. We havent forgotten that prick.

[Glastoforever]

It'll breathe fire during 'Sympathy for the Devil' I reckon

[Arriente]

I think you may be right. Whatever it is I'm sure it is something to do with the Stones.

[Gnomicide]

It's a Liver Bird. Special request from Formed a Band. He loves anything from Liverpool.

[kloot]

I am having a freak out at this.

[greenArmy12]

Whatever it is apparently it justifies multiple threads

Not having a go at the OP, but it's a shame it got spotted really. I think some one else said they'd taken down the webcam today to try and hide it, i suppose it's inevitable that someone would of seen it but it would have been great if they'd kept it a surprise untill the night.

Now everyone's going to be waiting for this fire breathing dragon/bird during Stones.

[scaryclaireyfairy]

surely it has to be a dragon?

dunno why, just cos.

[MEGABOWL]

Genuinely baffled. The Stones would seem the obvious band to have something aside from the normal set up but that's the only link I can come up with.

Watch it just have been an unorthodox storage solution or trial of something that doesn't get used!

[the wonderwhy]

No, a dragon breathing fire would be too predictable.

A bird breathing fire, on the other hand, would be bant & LAD points for Eavis.

Phoenix.

[Matt42]

Like the legend of the phoenix...

[pix123456789]

Thanks. It certainly does. Whats that delta wing/ insginia thing on the front edge of the overhang?

on the close up it looks like there is a figure in the middle.

Great photos from a phone by the way pix!

Interesting...

I only know half the story (I thought it was going to be the Lips). I was told Mr. Eavis didn't want this to happen (too much hassle, sets a precedent for future years etc). Someone said to the Stones, "Hey, look what we could do". The Stones liked it, Eavis didn't, looks like the Stones won out. There's hydraulics involved.

I try & find out the other half of the story tonight.

[TheSeventhOne]

Saxon must be playing.

[ian the worm]

I was there on Sunday. There are also "things" going on the speaker stands.

Its all in the capable hands of The Mutoid Waste Company

Only reasonable thing that it could be is Tenacious D up there playing

Oh yeah it's a Phoenix

[Phil-itfc]

just spotted it on the webcam

[bucko]

Could be that lady Gaga is special guest and that's her new hat.

[fatyeti24]

it's the dove from above and we'll all have to 'coo coo' it down during that bit in Sympathy for the Devil.

[rubenz]

Reminded me of this old Michael Crawford film for some reason!!
